Head Painting at Grand Central Academy





This is another 3 hour pose in my class with Rick Piloco.  This is taken about 3/4 of the way through.  At the end of the class, I added more color to the hair and face, but that will be posted soon!  This class is so fun.

Open Figure Drawing at the League



This is a new drawing I completed last night at the art student's league of New York.  It was a three hour pose and I used nupastel sticks as well as paper towels, a kneaded eraser and pan pastel blending tools.

Grand Central Academy Painting this Week


This week in Rick Piloco's class, I started this head painting using two twenty minute sessions to create this grasaille and the rest to add color.
